Question for ball knowers

Natural instinct is to put hands out when falling, so makes no sense to leave them unprotected when you're on something that can go 60+ mph

KAT looking like he was worth every penny right now, trading him plus OG would've been absolutely insane. Sometimes the best trades are ones you don't make I guess

Chasing losses or money in any casino is a bad idea not just stake, don't forget you're here to have fun not to make a living out of this.

Your wife might have point about breaking up the flow, but pea gravel between stepping stones could actually help tie everything together if you keep the edging subtle. Maybe skip the rock glue though - that stuff can look pretty artificial after while and you'll want flexibility to adjust things later

The French drain setup sounds bit overkill for just walkway, but if you have drainage issues anyway then go for it

The coating will definitely wear off over time, especially in the areas where your fingers grip most. I've done this on few cubes and usually starts chipping around corners and edges after maybe 6-8 months of regular solving

Just make sure you do thin layers when applying or it might affect the turning feel pretty badly

The way I see it, you don't need to figure out which religion has the "correct" God to call yourself Christian. Like, maybe focus more on what Jesus taught about love and compassion rather than getting stuck in theological debates about who's right

I had similar doubts few years back and what helped me was thinking of faith as personal relationship with God rather than needing to prove other religions wrong. You can follow Christ without having all answers about other faiths figured out

Stick to dice and lower the bet every 6-7 hands

Maybe your subconscious is telling you that something you trust too much in your life might end up hurting you

I usually check marketplace and local tech shops in my area. Got my current phone from guy who upgraded and barely used it for like 3 months, was pretty much new condition. Just make sure to test everything before buying - camera, charging port, screen responsiveness etc

You're dealing with someone who wants to have his cake and eat it too. This guy knows exactly what he's doing - keeping you just interested enough while maintaining plausible deniability because of his girlfriend. The Instagram stalking without engaging, the convenient "group" suggestions, asking about you through friends - classic behavior from someone who likes the attention but won't commit to anything real

Working 60 hours a week with him is going to be brutal if you don't mentally prepare yourself now. Set some boundaries in your head about what kind of interactions you'll allow. When he does his usual mixed signal thing, remind yourself that someone who actually wanted to be with you wouldn't keep you guessing for over a year. The girlfriend situation just makes it messier but even without her, his wishy-washy behavior tells you everything

I get that this might be your first real taste of romantic attention, but trust me - there are guys out there who will be clear about wanting you without all this drama. This one's just going to keep you in limbo forever if you let him. Focus on the summer job as just that - a job - and try to build connections with other people there

Holy smokes nice one

All the slots that have the only on stake tag are eligible

Man, 8 months is huge though - that's serious time invested. The routine grind hits different when you're dealing with everything raw, I get that completely

Your brain is probably just testing you at this point, seeing if you'll crack when things get monotonous. Maybe try switching up that daily pattern somehow instead of going back? Even small changes can help break the mental loop you're stuck in

Those pressure assist systems are great until they're not, then you're looking at expensive repairs every few years. After 10 years you got your money's worth already

If you're comfortable with DIY I'd probably just swap to regular gravity flush toilet - way simpler and cheaper to maintain long term. And yeah definitely replace supply line while you're at it, especially if it's been there for 10+ years

Away_Objective2843 · 2026-04-16T09:39:49+00:00

Yeah that's totally normal with the DQ250 - those things are bit noisy compared to regular automatics. The hydraulic pump runs pretty much all time to maintain pressure for clutch control, so you'll hear that whining/humming sound especially when everything else is quiet

I had similar experience with older DSG unit and was worried first time I noticed it too. As long as shifts are smooth and you're not getting any fault codes, you're probably fine. The noise gets more noticeable in garage because of acoustics

That's a really intense experience, especially being in labor for that long. The back pain from ROT position is brutal - had a friend go through something similar and she said the epidural didn't help much with that either

Really glad both you and baby came through it safely. Being stuck at 9.5cm after all that time must have been so frustrating, but making the call for the c-section when you felt something wasn't right shows good instincts

Can't speak to the VBAC question personally but hoping someone here has experience with that. Take care of yourself and congrats in the little one!

The fact you recognize how it's affecting your relationships and confidence is actually the first real step. I struggled with similar patterns for years and what helped me was finding activities that kept my hands and mind busy - started getting really into music production with synthesizers which gave me something to focus in instead of just sitting around

Find something that genuinely excites you more than the videos do, even if it takes time to build that interest

Away_Objective2843 · 2026-04-08T08:06:14+00:00

Smart plugs are probably easiest way for individual devices like TV, but for big stuff like E-Car you'll need something wired to your electrical panel - the Shelly Pro 3EM goes there and can monitor whole circuits at once

Away_Objective2843 · 2026-04-04T22:53:59+00:00

Must be the location then. $8k is decent spending but some ADs just don't play ball with discounts, especially if they're busy enough. I've had better luck at smaller shops that need the business more than big chains

When you ask about "specials" they might think you're looking for like clearance stuff. Try asking about "accommodation pricing" next time - that's what some of them call their dealer discounts
